5 Most Terrifying & Chilling Murderers EverWhat's most unsettling about serial killers isn’t that they prey on the innocent. But that they strike in a cold and calculated manner and have no remorse for any of their actions. These are the 5 Most Terrifying and Chilling Murderers Ever. 5. Grim SleeperKnown as the "Grim Sleeper," Lonnie Franklin Jr. grew up in South Central LA. He was married once with two children and described by his neighbors as a quiet, friendly man. Nobody ever pegged him to be a serial killer because he didn't fit the profile. About 80% of serial killers are white males between 20-30 years old. Lonnie Franklin is a black male who committed his first known crime at 32 years old. He also chose his victims very carefully, hunting black women in the sex trade – people the public and law enforcement often overlooked. 4. Southern Pacific Railroad AxemanIn 1911-1912, the axe was an item found in nearly every home, so it’s no surprise that it became a weapon for a serial murderer as well. The first reported axe killing was on January 1911 in Rayne, Louisiana. The victims were a mother and her 3-year old child; both were hacked to death while they silently slept in their beds. By February, the killer struck again,10 miles away in Crowley where 3 people from the Byers family were killed. Less then two weeks later four people from the Andres family were mutilated in LaFayette. Every single one of the victims was murdered in their sleep using an axe. 3. The Stoneman The title of The Stoneman first appeared in the English-language print media of Calcutta. It was used as a moniker for a serial killer who had a penchant for smashing his victims' skulls using a stone while they slept. The murders concentrated on two major areas in India: Bombay and Calcutta. Although no one knows for sure whether it's the same killer, the similarities in the crimes make it highly likely.In 1985, the first hints of the Stoneman appeared and continued for two years. The killer would carefully choose his victims, picking those who were sleeping alone in desolate and dimly lit areas. 2. Javed MughalOnly $2.40 or 120 rupees, that was the amount Javed Mughal proclaimed as the amount of money he spent in disposing one child. On December 1999, 45-year old, he wrote a letter to a local pakastani newspaper confessing he had murdered 100 boys, mostly beggars and runaways that were between the ages of 6 to 16. He would lure the children and gain their confidence before drugging and then raping them. Afterwards, they would be mutilated, their bodies cut into pieces before being placed inside acid vats to dissolve. After they were fully liquefied he would dump them into the sewer and later in the Ravi River. 1. Ted BundyOne of the most notorious serial killers of the 20th century, it's no surprise Ted Bundy is top of this list. His good looks and charm made it easy for him to win over his victims' trust, resulting in over 30 murdered women but many believe the numbers could be higher. Theodore Bundy was born in Burlington Vermont on November 24, 1946 to a young unwed mother, named Louise. Out of embarrassment, his grandparents decided to legally adopt him, passing themselves as his parents and telling him that his mother was his sister. so those were the 5 Most Terrifying & Chilling Murderers EverNo one knows for sure what motivated these killers to brutally torture, mutilate and kill without remorse but it remains a fact their methods and tactics are some of the most disturbing anyone will ever see.Support the show
